Masterlist / previous / next
Picnics with your friends were always a mess. Not because you made a mess, but because when together, you were a bunch of loud kids, forgetting half of the time that you were in fact not alone in the park. But did it ever stop you from being yourselves? Never.
Just like many of your Saturday afternoon, you met with your group of friends. The only mention of the picnic and their immediate response was a loud and cheerful ‘yes’. Everybody came; Yunji, Changbin, Minho and of course Jisung. Just like every time you met, you took your favorite spot by the artificial lake. You and Yunji had brought blankets to spread on the grass, along with snacks and homemade sandwiches. Changbin and Minho were in charge of drinks which often involved an unreasonable amount of beer and few softs. Jisung, on the other hand was in charge of the music. Sometimes he brought his speakers. Today, however, he brought his guitar.
Him being your crush, you of course knew all about his love for music. On more than one occasion, you had the chance to witness by chance (or maybe because you were secretly stalking him) him playing his guitar. Sometimes he would choose to play one of his songs, wanting your opinion. As if you could be objective whenever he was concerned.
“Who are you trying to impress today?” Yunji joked as she eyed Jisung’s guitar.
Jisung’s immediate reaction was to glance at you which caused your heart to skip a beat. His action, of course, didn’t go unnoticed, not by Yunji and definitely not by Changbin and Minho.
“Ohhhhh.” Yunji chuckled, “So you’re trying to impress our little Y/N?”
“As if he needs it.” Minho coughed and muttered which earnt him a nasty nudge from Yunji and a glare from you. Yunji, of course, knew about your not so little crush on Jisung, and sadly and very unfortunately for you so did Minho. Not because you told him, no, despite being friends you weren’t close enough. But Minho had always been a very observant person, he saw everything and he saw right through you.
“Consider me already impressed.” You said and averted your eyes from your friends who were about to start bickering for no valid reason. Jisung, on the other hand, was grinning.
“What if I want to seduce you?” He said and leaned closer to you, trying to fluster you.
Someone was being particularly cheeky and bold today, you thought. You didn’t mind this behavior, in fact, you were pretty used to it but most of the time it happened when the two of you were alone.
“You might need to work harder.” You lied. You hoped you sounded confident, you didn’t need Jisung to figure out how you felt. Not yet.
Despite your attempt at playing nonchalant, Jisung didn’t get discouraged.
“You might regret it later.” Changbin commented as he took bite of his sandwich. “Jisung wrote a song for the girl he likes.”
You expected Jisung to deny it, but he didn’t. Instead, he stared at his guitar, thinking about what he should do next. You, on the other hand, couldn’t ignore the jealous monster inside you. Was there someone Jisung liked and you weren’t aware of it?
Your grip on your beer tightened as you fought your inner demons. So what if Jisung liked someone, you told yourself. Before being your crush, he was your friend and as his friend, you had to be happy for him. No matter how much your own heart ached at the thought of seeing him in someone’s else arms.
“She’s a lucky one then.” You found your voice again and smiled. What a good actress you were. Apparently, Minho agreed with your thought as he looked at you, impressed with the control you had on your emotions. “I still kinda want to hear the song though.”
“How can I say no to my angel?” Jisung chuckled and grabbed his guitar.
“Please don’t.” Changbin groaned beside him. They had been friends for years, but Changbin still couldn’t deal with Jisung’s cheesiness. Every single time, it made his skin crawl.
Jisung stuck his tongue in response. “You’re just jealous of what we have. Hater.”
You shouldn’t be blushing at his words, but you were. What you had was a nice friendship that sometimes seemed like something more. Sometimes, it confused you but you reasoned yourself. It was just how Jisung was; touchy, cheeky, lovable.
“Hater my ass.” Changbin mumbled and stuffed his mouth with the rest of his sandwich.
You held your hand over your mouth, trying to stifle a laugh but the shake of your shoulders betrayed you, making Changbin throw a chips at you. “Sorry, sorry.” You were so not sorry.
“Don’t waste food!” Minho scolded Changbin and pointed, looking scary as hell in your opinion, his fork at Changbin. Nobody messed with food, not under his watch.
Yunji slapped his hand, siding with Changbin (just to spite Minho because it was her favorite hobby). “And you, stop being a menace.”
You said it before; your group of friends were a mess. A lovely mess.
Before the situation could get out of hand, which would probably result into a fight between Yunji and Minho and Changbin trying to step between them – Jisung started playing his guitar. At the first notes, everybody shut their mouth and averted their attention on him. And so did you.
The moment Jisung started singing, your heart beat a little faster. His voice always had this effect on you, especially when he was singing. There was just something about Jisung when he played his songs that was so enthralling, magical. You drank his every words, every notes.
I'll protect you it's okay to hurt I'll embrace the wounds you shed To me, you're already a sin I can't refuse because you're sweeter than evil
Whoever inspired Jisung was clearly important to him. You closed your eyes and for a short moment you allowed yourself to imagine that this song was for you, about you. You allowed yourself to imagine that there was nobody else in this place except for the two of you. You imagined him finishing the song and you applaud him because he had created another masterpiece. You imagined crawling closer to him and kissing his soft lips to thank him. But then, you opened your eyes and reality dawned on you.
Jisung was not yours. Not then and not now.

that madlyn angst was beautiful but i need a madlyn fluff tho :(((
So glad you guys are liking these!
Ashlyn excitedly opened her front door. It was her birthday and EJ was taking her out to dinner before Maddox picked her up for a date.
She stepped into the dark living room and reached for the light.
"Surprise!" A chorus of voices shouted when she flicked on the light. All of her friends jumped out from various hiding places, effectively scaring the shit out of Ashlyn.
"You guys!!!" She ran up and hugged them all tightly. After they all separated, Maddox came to the front of the group and kissed Ashlyn's cheek.
"Happy birthday, Ash," she said with a smile.
---
Soon enough, the party was in full swing. Music was blasting, drinks were being poured, and everyone was having a great time.
As Ash sat down next to her cousin, Maddox jumped up and stood in the middle of the room. "Time for presents!" She shouted.
Everyone gathered around Ashlyn with their presents in their hands, handing them over to the birthday girl. A knitted hat from Gina, a necklace from Kourt, the cutest cow stuffed animal from Seb, and so many other things.
Finally, Maddox handed her a small bag. Ashlyn reached inside and pulled out a small DVD, she had no clue what it could be. Maddox took the DVD and put it into the TV.
Maddox grabbed the remote and turned to Ashlyn, "so you know that documentary crew that followed us around and we still don't know why? Well, I asked them for a favor." She pressed play and sat down, wrapping an arm around her girlfriend and whispering, "God I hope you like this."
A black screen pops up, followed by the words "Season 4 Edited." Before Ashlyn could ask, the video already started playing.
"Yeah, I may have had a crush on Ash over the summer, but she has a boyfriend," Maddox said in the interview on the TV. TV Ashlyn walked behind TV Maddox, instantly catching her attention. The Maddox on the TV stared after the girl for a moment before turning back to the crew, "I really hope she breaks up with her boyfriend."
The camera cuts to Maddox complimenting Ashlyn's goth look for a movie before going into another interview. "She looks... really good in goth," Maddox told the camera. "And I think my PA barking impressed her. I'd like to see Big Red do that."
The video continued, showing hidden clips of Ashlyn and Maddox pining for each other before opening night; their almost kiss on Halloween, all of the special moments they shared that the crew managed to capture.
The video ended with a short happy birthday message to Ashlyn, who was in tears as she watched the small movie.
"Did you like it?" Maddox asked cautiously.
Ashlyn turned to her, "I love you so much."
-----
"Baby, baby, baby, ohhhhh!" Ashlyn laughed as Jet sang. At one point EJ broke out the karaoke, and all of the theater kids had been taking turns singing random songs.
Ashlyn watched in delight as Jet sang the end of the song. She was about to go up next, but Maddox tapped on her shoulder. "Hey, can we talk outside?" She asked.
Maddox took Ash's hand and led her to the porch. They could still hear the party inside, but it was much quieter.
"Happy birthday, Ashlyn," Maddox said when the door shut behind them. "I got you one last thing." She pulled a small envelope out of her pocket and handed it to her girlfriend.
"Maddie, you really didn't have to get me anything," Ashlyn started before Maddox prompted her to open it. Inside was a small card.
"Read it out loud," Maddox said excitedly.
Ashlyn rolled her eyes and smiled. "Ashlyn, thank you for being there for me through everything. I love you so much, and even if I'm terrified that I'm gonna mess us up, I'm not as scared when I'm with you. Happy birthday. Love, Gadget." Ashlyn instantly enveloped her girlfriend in a hug. "You're the best, I love you too."
Maddox smiled widely, "there's one more thing in there."
Ashlyn slowly reached into the envelope and pulled out to small slips of paper. "You didn't," she said as she looked at the two tickets for Wicked on Broadway.
"I did. Happy birthday, Ash."
"This was the best birthday ever, Maddie, thank you."

If I'm to ever leave you with something while scrolling through my blog or finding my posts randomly I hope is this:
Morals, good morals, even leftist morals, are NOT indicative of emotional maturity and responsibility.
What do I mean by this? Let me give you some examples from my life:
My parents have always been leftists. My mom's been to every strike and walk in there's been fighting for the rights of many, organized and even made Molotov cocktails for her comrades. My dad has always used his position to fight for social justice, especially for the legalization of free abortion in my country, to the point that in the 80s he left his political party because his colleagues considered him "too radical". My mom gives free education to needy kids and my dad uses his platform as a journalist to make topics that are politically important be heard. They are both deeply involved with social justice. They also have the emotional intelligence of a four year old and should have never had children. They ruined my brother's and I mental health and will not acknowledge anything of what they did.
My first friend group from my teenage years was the most toxic, abusive, misogynistic, homophobic and probably all kinds of bigotry there was. We treated each other badly and attacked each other harshly. You know what was one of our favorite shows to watch together? Steven Universe.
We ate that shit, we loved the characters, we would sing the songs about compassion and love and go right back to making each other miserable. It got so bad that one of them was a fan of "What's the use of feeling blue?" You know, that song that's about how you can't keep your emotions bottled up because they will eventually rise and hurt you even more, so it's sung from a character's POV that's trying to argue that emotions are useless but by the end of it she can't hold back anymore.
He LOVED it, but not the actual message no. He loved that there was a song about how cool it is to not feel anything and how sensitivity is stupid.
Another friend who in my early twenties basically got me into feminism. He very calmly helped understand the issues with the patriarchy, he introduced me to Judith Butler and we had a workshop about gender, sexuality and gender roles. He also loved SU deeply, got all the art books and comics and made posts thanking Rebecca Sugar for her thoughtful representation of LGBT people.
He shut up a mutual friend who was trying to come out as bi telling her she was "probably confused". Later he gaslighted me when I was worried that our friend group might not like me, telling me it was all in my head and that I had to stop being so paranoid, to then talk shit about me behind my back and convince them to kick me out of the group like we were some kindergarten kid's band.
I could go on but hopefully I made my point clear.
And btw this is not an invitation to right wingers to comment "ohhhhh see? The left is just as bad/See? Y'all are hypocrits". No, shut the fuck up, this is not about you, at best you are someone who desperately needs therapy and it's making it everyone else's problem and at worst you're a Nazi so I don't give a fuck about your opinion.
The point I'm trying to make is that emotional maturity requieres work, and many people are not willing to make it. But if you are, you need to be aware that even if those around you or the new people you meet have morals that align with yours doesn't mean they can't be shitty people who might hurt you. For your own good you need to be clear in communication, setting boundaries and leaving when someone is just not good for you.

Ok so The band is called Ghost!!! Y'know how Gorillaz has its whole shtick about being an animated band releasing real music? Ghost is the same way except not animated; the band is made up of the lead singer, currently Papa Emeritus IV (aka Copia) and a bunch of demons called the Nameless Ghouls. The band is also a satanic church! Papa is sort of like a priest (which is why he's Papa-- a mockery of calling priests father) and the other members are the Siblings of Sin. We're currently on Papa IV, but there were actually Four papas before him: Papa Nihil, Papa I, Papa II, and Papa III. Papa Nihil started the band and is also the father of papas 1-3. He may or may not also be the father of Copia; it's never confirmed but it's implied that he's the bastard child of Nihil and Sister Imperator (another high ranking member of the church) Ok now the ghouls. There's lots of them and we don't know who's under the masks. First there's Omega, aka Aether or Quintessence, he's the sorta lader of the ghouls!! He plays lead guitar, and you can tell him apart from the other guitarists by the fact his guitar is black. He also wears a lot of rings. He's overall chill but he does like to fuck around, especially with Alpha, aka Dewdrop, the other lead guitarist. Alpha has immense short guy rage syndrome lmao and he's kinda an asshole (affectionate) Then there's Rain, the base guitarist. He's got mega anxiety which is a little problematic considering metal band lmao but he's a sweetheart Mountain is the drummer and on the rare case that Omega doesn't have the braincell, he has it. He's a gentle giant and he's kinda like the group therapist lmao Then there's Swiss, short for Swiss Army Ghoul; he bounces around and plays whatever he's needed, usually keys or aux percussion. He's a chill dumbass, would totally eat candles just to piss off Multi, the other multi-purpose ghoul. She's sisterly and very cute and goes HARD on the keytar There's a few more ghouls but those are the main ones Back to the papas Copia loves rats and is an introvert and rides a tricycle around the church and it's great Papa III aka Terzo is… A whore NEHRKWB he's my personal fav papa and he's fucking ridiculous and he's clumsy (he's fallen on stage many times, the only papa to do so) and he's totally trans cus fuck you OKAY. SONGS From The Pinnacle to the Pit is about the fall of Lucifer and it goes HARD. The bassline is sooooo good!!! Rain sounds amazing Year Zero is about the birth of the antichrist and it goes super hard. At the beginning it chants the names of demons and ohhhhhhh man it slaps Square Hammer is such a good song I spent like 14 hours making a cover of it :D it goes super fucking hard Dance Macabre is what happens when Ghost tries to write a love song and it goes super hard Mummy Dust has SUCH a good key part!!!! In the wise words of papa himself it is one heavy motherfucker. And Cirice. Ohhhhh Cirice. Cirice is so good it won a fucking Grammy. It legit gives me chills to this fucking day. It's about how the church manipulates the masses and it's so fucking good. If you take one thing away from this rant it's that Cirice is one of the best songs ever written. so that's ghost ! now you know way too much about the band that made me a satanist <3 i will gladly send you pictures of any of the characters if you're interested
Ayo this is pretty damn cool

Bonnie & Clyde — 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Eren Jaeger x black f!reader]
[Song] ‘03 Bonnie & Clyde | Jay Z & Beyoncé
[Warnings] swearing, use of marijuana, act of robbery, a bit of sexual activity, mention of blood
Tumblr media
BLRRRRRRR
“WOO! Fuck yeah! Let’s go!” One of the robbers yells as he runs out of the bank smiling big with two duffel bags full of money. Smiling with him, another taller than the first runs behind him to the food truck that the getaway driver awaits in.
Running out with more duffel bags in y’all hands, you and Eren race out to the truck. Helping you in, the robbers take the bags throwing them in, and grabs onto your hands so you can jump into the moving truck.
Just then you guys hear the sound of police sirens blaring from around the bend. Coming at full speed they drift the corner, accelerating to catch up to y’all. Making eye contact with one of the officers, you smirk, blowing them a kiss and a wink before you and Eren close the doors.
“Step on it Alert!” Eren yells to Armin in the driver's seat.
Taking your seats, you sat in Eren’s lap, legging draping over his as you enveloped your arms around his neck full out making out with him. His hands rest on your lower back and outer thigh pulling you close to him, tilting his head to the side, deepening the kiss even more.
“Your so bad you know that?” He smirks at you, slapping you on your thigh making you jump, giggling and smiling pulling him back in.
“What now boss?” One of the robbers asks as he takes off his mask. The same one who ran out first.
“Yeah, boss?” The other one, the taller one adds in.
Eren stops kissing you for a minute, still holding onto you looking at both men.
“Well, Connie… Jean. Now, we celebrate.” He smiles looking back at you.
“What’d you say beautiful?” He rubs your thigh, eyes never leaving yours.
Face getting warm and your body heating up, you softly nod with a low hum, looking right at him, leaning back into him for another kiss which he gladly accepts.
“Yeah!” Everyone cheers.
“Yes sir.” The men voice, bowing and taking their half into their duffel bag.
“Sir, the chef has informed me that dinner is prepared and ready.” A man with freckles told to Eren.
“Sir, the chef has informed me that dinner is prepared and ready.” A man with freckles told to Eren.
He grunts and makes his way to the route of the master bedroom which you currently stayed.
“You guys can take a plate, me and Y/n will take our share later.” He says as he walks over to the elevator down the hall. Getting in, he presses the third floor and leans back on the railing.
“Beautiful?” He calls as he walks into the living room from the elevator making his way to the room.
“Yes, darling?” You walk out, leaning against the door frame in a small lingerie dress that barely covered your thighs and ass.
Eren's eyes widen and his face turns red as he stops in his tracks. Dropping the bag, Eren lowers his head smiling, tongue poking his cheek while he scratches his chin. He slowly tilts his head back, with low eyes and inspecting your beautiful and amazing body in the sensual and seductive outfit.
"You know," he starts as he untucks his dress shirt, undoing the buttons on it then throwing it somewhere in the living room making his way toward your direction.
"You really are something right. This all for me beautiful?"
Eren unbuckles his belt allowing it to cascade to the wood tiles. Only inches away from you know, he wraps an arm around your body and pulls you close enough, placing a hand on the back of your neck guiding you to lean into the kiss.
You both makeout, entangled in each other pleasure blindly navigating through the room and successfully finding the bed tumbling right onto it while being able to not break the kiss.
"The things that you do to me. It makes me crazy, makes me fucking mad. I want you, I need you, I need your love and your body so bad. Let me make love to you. Let me hold you and tell you everything you crave hear while I go into your deepest places till I reach that sweet, sweet womb of yours and make you cum over and over on my dick. The same one that you love and cherish with your life." Eren slowly grinds his hips into yours, lips moving down your neck leaving open kisses in their waking.
"Will you let me do that beautiful? Do you permit me to reclaim you over and over again? Tell you I love you? Cum deep into your wet and tight pussy that I love and adore with all my life? Will you?"
Overwhelmed with all the oversensitivity and the burning pit deep in your stomach, you desperately nod your head as you repeat, "Yes... yes, yes, yes. Please~"
<3
"Nah Jaeger, you cheatin' out here." Connie says as Eren puts down a draw four card on the deck in the center of the table.
"No I ain't," he smirks taking a puff of the blunt before passing it onto Armin.
"I'm simply just playing the game Con."
"Cap! Y/n can't be helping you pick out your cards, that's straight bull." Jean points to you settled behind Eren's chair, giggling, eyes red and lidded as you stick your tongue out at him only for him to respond with a playful gasp and clutch chest.
"Oh please, Y/n could do whatever she feels like horseface." Eren quips leaning his head back to wink at you.
"Hey! I don't have a horseface you pigeon." Jean claps back.
Everyone including you burst out in laughter, unable to hold it in being that you all are under the influence.
“Marco, it's your turn.” Connie softly nudged at the man spaced out after putting his card down.
Marco blinks a few times to stop himself before looking at the cards in his hand and selected two number five cards, or what he thought were two six cards.
“Ayo, yo, pick up two fo’ your mistake!” Jean says as he starts to pull out cards for him.
“Huh? How?” he protests.
“Fuck is this?” Armin picks up the yellow six and nine card that he had put down.
“Ohhh.”
“Ohhhhh.” Jean mocked.
“Leave me alone, I'm smacked aight?” Marco explains taking the cards from Jean.
“Uno,” Eren says wiggling his last card in between his fingers.
Armin went a place down and a red draw two, leaning back in his chair with a smile, taking another puff before pasting the blunt to Jean “Uno.”
Eren daps him up telling him ‘that's what's up.’
“How the fuck y'all got Uno already?” Jean takes a hit inhaling picking out his cards and putting them down before passing on the blunt to Connie.
Taking his turn with the blunt and cards, he skipped Marco and Eren pointing to Armin to go.
Eren gives him a death look and shakes his head.
“Hey, it's just how the game is played.” he put his hands up passing the blunt to Marco who was once again spaced out.
“Dude, just go to sleep, Y/n will take over for you.” Connie shakes him back to consciousness.
“Yeah, I'll take ‘em for you.” you smile and take his cards taking his place in the chair before hugging him goodnight.
“Another hit Y/n?”
You nod taking the blunt from Connie and taking a deep inhale of the smoke and holding it before exhaling it out through your nose.
“Ou, he got some good cards,” you say sorting out the cards in your hand before you put down four skips.
“WOW!!” Jean and Connie say in unison.
“That's what we doin’ now beautiful?” Eren looks at you, holding the card to his chin.
“As Connie said before, that's just how the game is played.” you retort sending him a kiss.
“Hey, hey. Don't put me in this.” Connie said.
“I’ma getchu back don't worry.” Eren declares.
“Threat or a promise?” you test him.
“Take it how you wanna beautiful.” he jerks his eyebrow.
“If y’all wanna fuck just say da, damn.” Armin snarky remarks make Jean and Connie fall out of their chairs laughing.
“Shuddup Armin.” you joke laughing along.
Continuing with the game, you place down a reverse card making the rotation go counterclockwise. Connie went and put down a plus two to which Jean added another one. Armin then grinned at them putting down his last card, draw four saying ‘uno out’.
All eyes on Eren he looks back at everyone before looking at you.
“I told you I'll get you back right?”
Without saying more words he placed down a draw four on top of Armin’s. Everyone in the group gasps and ooh’s while they look between you and Eren.
“Pick up eight beautiful.” he says as he caresses your cheek.
You gasp, “Oh my God, noooo.”
“It doesn't work like that baby.” you say as you kiss his hand putting down an additional draw four card making the total 12.
From across you, you heard someone stifle their laugh, snorting in the process. You turn to see Armin with his hand over his mouth face slowly turning red from now breathing. He shakingly points his finger towards Connie’s direction. You turn in confusion and see him with a straight face, looking at the pile of cards.
“Connie…”
Everyone except him and you die of laughter, toppling over. He softly places the cards on the table, scooting his chair out, rising and walking away.
“No, No Connie wait!! I’m sorry!” you try your hardest not to laugh, trailing behind him, slightly stumbling from feeling high. He didn't answer only continuing to walk till he walked to his room, entering and softly closing his door.
“FUCK!!”
Y'all hear him yells at the top of his lungs and you laugh even harder than before. It's probably the hardest that y'all ever laughed in your life. You're laid out on the floor, holding your stomach as tears come out of your eyes and you buffer in place silently laughing. Eren laughing loudly head held back stomping his feet on the floor. Jean once again on the floor also laid out like you, shaking in laughter and he screams out with laughter, having that Windex bottle laugh. Armin jumping in his chair, wheezing and crying once in a while snorting loud as hell.
“Did something happen?” Marco voiced.
He was in front of y'all, rubbing his eyes in his oversized onesie with his blanket wrapped around him. That only made everyone succumb to laughter. Armin fell out of his chair onto the floor, Eren slouched in his chair in an uncomfortable position, Jean face down into the carpet and you on your back in an almost starfish position.
Marco freaks out, runs to each of your sides to check up on you only to be met with snores and soft breathing. Y'all laughed yourselves to sleep, who the fuck does that shit? Being as caring as he is, Marco uses the couch cushions and places them under each of the guy's heads, and covered them with blankets, even leveling Eren’s legs so he could be more comfortable. He picks you off the ground being sure not to wake you up and puts you on the big couch right by Eren covering you with a blanket as well.
He cleans up and puts out the rest of the light blunt in the ashtray and packs up the Uno cards. Turn off the light and whispers goodnight before leaving to his room.

Hey!! just saw your post about the awkward 'meet the fam' dinner fic, have you written that? if so where can I find it cause that sounds AMAZING. Thanks!!
[long post / wip snippet and because of that the h/c is hurt/no comfort]
i assume you are talking about this post, about an offshoot of my notp series wherein maria doesnt break up with eliot and legit lesbian-centric semi-nonsexual throuples him with her primary yolie, and then sophie makes eliot bring his partners to a family dinner but it goes south very face because eliot, parker, and hardison are soulmates obviously and maria is like... so... the fuck?
the answer is no i haven't written it! (i didn't even have that post saved in a doc yet, but! i just did.) i am partway through a ot3 LR canon adjacent fic (previewed here) and a harry/eliot pwp (i know i know).
but! i have notes about the Revolving POV awk meet the fam dinner. one moment i really thought through is from hardison's pov which would go like:
between courses the group has a little bit of a break because it's hot and to let things digest a bit, so everyone is drinking and mingling outside the order of sitting at the long table. one of these times yolie is loudly laughing with eliot and bre and emily, saying to the couple: im serious! this is a lesbian huddle we got here like pls let me convince you of the beauty of eliots dykeness. and yolie does that thing where you grab someone's chin and shake it a bit. which eliot allows. with. out. a. fuss.
eliot rolls his eyes. shes been on a year long campaign on this. at this point i might have to agree just so she can stop with the powerpoints
yolie is like, eliot listened to her first indigo girls song last week and she even liked it I'm so proud.
and alec is floored. because it's so sweet and funny and clearly its affirming for eliot on some level. but. the gender stuff wasnt something even remotely on his radar for eliot. and even if it was, hardison would have never pushed it like yolie clearly does. which... eliot even told them that yolie can be brash with her jokes and just to ignore her; but... there's something to the ease eliot accepts yolie playing around with his pronouns, and eliot's smile at yolie as she goes on about her Proof, and how apparently maria couldnt stand yolie's first attempt at powerpoint design so she made it all fancy for eliot and...
alec plays so safe with eliot about queer stuff and romance and everything and.... now theres ppl in eliots life that will challenge him in ways alec didnt even anticipate. and he feels so gross that hes upset but hes also so upset.
alec just wants eliot so much and he just let eliot slip through his fingers for eight years. and he can accept that. but what breaks hardison is seeing an eliot that is not his, (potentially) changing in some beautiful and significant way without alec to witness it, and that.... hurts. they're... they're not changing together.
alec was standing next to harry when this went down who is like ohhhhh boy you..... look like you're gonna... hey let's step outside okay????
harry needs to console a wrecked alec who is like, ooooh nooo eliot Doesn't Love Me But Can Love Those Two i guess????? okay?? (information that was faculty when it was picked up and definitely now years out of date in any case.) i... just thought... i was always hoping, yknow. that he would change his mind. he knows i still.. i always will... i just hoped, y'know?
harry hasnt gotten an eliot monologue about how much he loves parker and hardison that night (yet) and Has Learned from holding out for his ex wife. so he tells alec: im so sorry. :( yeah its hard to let go. and harry and alec are trying to get alec to accept that possibility that this truly is it. that this is the night he has to give that hope up. that dream. eliot isnt even with parker any more. he really has moved on. harry is like: give yourself tonight, hardison. let yourself really be in this space. tomorrow... tomorrow is a new day to start. but i wont tell anyone if you hold out for tonight, even if you are being rude to maria and yolanda. just blame jetlag! i do it all the time :')
alec nods because the logic is sound and he accepts a very kind hand on his shoulder pat from harry.

Who’s crushin on ya!? 😏🥰😍 This is a general pick a pile reading for the collective and your person. It may not resonate for all, so just take what sticks. Feel free to pick just one pile or take a look at them all. but please....be honest with your story. remember that timing is fluid and free will is something we all have. This could have already happened, your going through it, or will happen. Follow your heart always. -E 🌻💙
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PILE 1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
So pile 1 your person is STUCK on you. This is someone from your past crushin on you. They just cant seem to get you out of their head-its literally making them sick. It’s like they have tried everything to distract themselves. But at the end of the day they are just worried sick, and have to speak whats on their mind. I see two 8s here so that number could be important to you or the connection. This person will be reaching out to you. this person lost you. You walked away from them and continued on with your life. And now that you left them, they are in a state of grief that you aren’t with them anymore. Ohhhhh, I see why you did....they were low vibes, huh? Had additions and didn’t want to come out of them either. Just stuck to their ball and chain. You gave A LOT to this connection. so much so that you were getting drained. I’m seeing a heart monitor, so it was like you were pumping love to this person on life support. And they were taking it. And it helped them, but they didn’t give it back because they didn’t have it. So-you had to leave. im getting that you had NOTHING left. Like even if you tried or wanted to give or have more for this person. they sucked you dry. And this hurt you. I am getting a betrayal energy from this person. They are stalking you too. If you moved on, they are looking at the new person around too. i heard the song “what we could have been“ by H.E.R. I see a guy driving around in his car at night listening to music smoking. So this person is dead in their feelings about you. They are reminiscing a lot about you. Don’t move too fast pile 1 because they are coming back. This person has done some work on themselves while they have been away too. They have been listening to spirit more. You were a divine light to them. you were placed in this persons path to help them with their addictions, help them be a better person. But nope they wanted to stay in the low vibes. like I always say, “and empress will never stay where she isn’t wanted. She will leave-BUT she will always be wanted back. She will always be needed. And this person, pile 1 needs you. i just heard I can’t live without you. So look out because they are coming around the mountain. Good luck. 😉
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PILE 2 🧿🧿🧿
Hi pile 2. Right off....this person wants to come back to you. But right now is a bad time. This person had a third party in the past and because of it, you cut them off. I don’t get the sense that this was a super long relationship. More of the beginning stages of developing into one. But this person was playing the field still. And you were having none of it. Youve been through enough. So you told them like it was, and if they try to come back again. You’ll tell them....again!! 😂 because you stood your ground, they view you as somebody different. I get that this person is used to getting over on people. But not with you so when you turned them away and cut them off. It forced them to make decision. and now their other options, I’m getting multiple people involved. They are done with them now. They have chosen you, and they are looking to come back. But boy oh boy they do have a ways to get there. This person could be at distance from you. I’m getting across water or state so they may travel to get there to you. but they have got to come correct because you are not playing! I get the sense of your not coming off of your throne-you just won’t do it. This group is no nonsense I mean honestly. 😩 your ready. You know your worth, and you are worthy of something good. You will not settle, nooooo not this time. Because youve already been through this. your heart can’t be played with anymore. This person is sad without you. They thought the other options would be better than you. Like oh “ill just go in my back pocket and choose from these”. But none were like you, so because of that....they feel STUPID. they feel so dumb, so sad that when they do come back. they won’t be able to even get a word in because you won’t hear them out. The “others“ are still coming for your person. Talk to them, be with them. But your person is just like no, I dont Want to be bothered, I want my bae back. But hey.....you may or may not be there when they decide to come. like they call you and if you answer then okay but if not, oh well. 😂 this person regrets what they've done. So dumb, so silly. To think....the other options were going to fulfill them. But they were sadly mistaken. pity boy, pity gal. 🥲 this person had options out the buttttt. They were playa playa from the Himalayas. this Person tried to play you, get over on you. And you found out. And said no not me, you WILL NOT do this to me. And they never had anyone do that to them. pile 2 I’m seeing you already know what it feels like to be not considered in a high regard. and You won’t do it again! Like if they want the others...go BYE! and now this person is feeling like they sabotaged this with you. They were living their ego. Somebody who has multiple options like that needs their ego to be fed. Like if the main person they want doesn’t work out or something happens they have backups. They can just go to someone else. Now this person feels like they aren’t enough for YOU! They now lack confidence, they are the jealous ones. They self-sabotaged. So yeah this person will come back with time, but your address may have changed by that time. *I just want to say I’m very proud of this group. A lot of lessons and growth!* best of luck! 😁
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PILE 3 🌸🌸🌸
alrighty pile 3, welcome! So this read will be more intuitive. Ironically enough, this group pulled three cards. So let’s get into it!.....*moment of silence because the energy is rather intense here*. I heard the song “baby come back” by player. I’m feeling this group has moved on from their person tbh. Like it’s just too little, too late for this person. This was somebody you walked away from. There was A LOTTT of love here. but also secrets and fears in this connection. With this person, your energy is coming up as “how could you do this to me-ME. Not in an egotistical way, but because you trusted and loved this person. And they loved you too. So when they did whatever they did to hurt or betray you, it was like how could you. 😩 I’m feeling like you weren’t even mad about it, more disappointed than anything. So after, you started just doing your own thing. Not really concerned with anything or anyone else. Just working on yourself. A reinvention. I’m seeing healthy eating or changing the color of your hair. Wearing sexy clothes (just for yourself) everything you started to do was about self love. And just when you started to move on or found someone new.....HERE THEY COME. like oh wait for me! i gotta be honest with y’all. I don’t feel like this person really cheated on you. I’m getting that maybe you thought they were doing you wrong but they weren’t. or a really bad agruement took place and something was said or done that was very distasteful and you felt betrayed by it. But I’m not getting strong cheating energy. You really thought it was something and it wasn’t and this person tried to explain and it went from there. (Downhill that is) there is so much sadness here. You really though this was going to work out and it didn’t. There has been some time that has passed here. This person didn’t know how to come back. no idea on what to say or do about the situation. But they daydream about it 24/7. They think about being intimate again and how it was like with you (if y’all were). this person wants to play something romantic. I’m seeing a dinner with candles a few drinks. Trying to take it back to the good times. But it took too long for this person. and now this person sees you with someone new And they can’t help but wonder...what if I would have gotten back in time. What if things would have worked out? This person does want to come back without a doubt! But will they? I’m not too sure, because it looks like you have someone else now. *PLOT TWIST*!!!! Pile 3 let me ask you this, do you love this new person like your old flame? I think NOT. You like this new person and everything, but your heart is with the person you broke up with. The new person is diggin you and likes you a lot. But there’s something thats just not hittin the same anymore. And your old person didn’t forget about you either. *i pulled extra cards for this group because I’m really feeling like this just may come back together. I’m getting that vibe heavy. For the outcome. I don’t see y’all coming back together ASAP because theres a decision that needs to be made and you don’t want to choose .your just kinda there. This connection right here is a divine pair. With the lovers and emperor here. But there’s still work that needs to be done by both parties and a conclusion by you. So you will be separated until then. I’m telling y’all...if you choose this person. Do not be surprised if this person gives you a ring. This person may right music or be into the arts. They may give you a gift that comes from their heart. a song. I heard melody. they could play an instrument or that was something you two had In common. The thought you of keeps this person sane while you aren’t with them. The thought of being with you again keeps them together. Like when they a bad day or something. Because you aren’t there physically, them daydreaming keeps them motivated. Pile 3, intuitively I gotta say it. I know y’all gotta make a decision and everything but this is going to work out. Idk when because time is fluid but it’s going to come back together. I’m telling y’all
now. its Going to take patience but in time it will. This connection is strong, y’all love each other too much. This person loves you. And they want to restore this! Like I said, this new person...your not fooling me! Yeah you like them, but that heart of yours didnt go anywhere. I’m going to say for this pile, your going to have to make the first moves because they feel like your done with them. They feel like there’s nothing they can do or say to get you back. WOW, you all have to let me know how this plays out because it will work out! I almost want to cry. can I get an invite to the wedding with a +1 please!?

ALRIGHT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE 'READY TO LOVE' BY SEVENTEEN CHOREO
This is so long like please know what you are getting yourself into here 😅
Might post more of these if there are any choreos I really enjoy, or 👀 send one in if you really wanna! Sorry people who absolutely did not expect this when they followed me
I knew I was gonna love this 5 seconds in really. Like the chorus/intro moves are so SMOOOOOOTH
And in between the smaller moves they have much bigger/wider ones too which is nice
I cannot explain why I like the slight travel foot move. But I really like it
I always looks at Jun doing that move and I cannot explain why. BUT Their arms and legs mirror each other yessssss
Okay. Throughout this whole thing there's a couple points where people just? Run to their spots? That are like entirely across the formation? Generally in pairs? Not sure why they didn't just do a whole formation change or have members move just a little bit to be there but okay!
NOT OKAY ACTUALLY. Cause the rest of them aren't moving that much so it's really obvious that it's just them running? Unless you're supposed to just stare at them running. I'm so confused 😖
OH THAT ENTIRE SEQUENCE IN THE HALF CROUCH. Yes lads!!!
Ohhhhh hoshihoshihoshihoshihoshi. I really like how he points his head and chest to the ceiling when he does the spin. It just looks cool heh
OH THE CANNON. They all do the move so big and then drop to the ground immediately after. So dynamic!!!
And the running thing. I dislike it less here? Really cause the crossing members clear away to reveal the ones left like a curtain. I still am not the biggest fan but this is fine
OH YEAH. So the entire first verse looks pretty hard not gonna lie but the chorus is relatively easy! Like some of the moves are fast but I wouldn't say they're particularly hard
Oh during the big moves watching the differences between Dino and Hoshi is really cool
HOLD ON HOW DO THEY ALL SPIN SO CLEANLY. They actually all nail that spin though. Okay so they all swing their arms out and pull them to their chest like figure skaters. Coups does it the least and spins the slowest and Dino does it the fastest I'd say. Seokmin does it super well too like colour me impressed sir 👀
Oh tasty. Dino does a half spin to start his exit and really whips his head around which just makes it look stronger when hardly anyone is even looking at him
OOOOOOOH those leg moves are so slick! Like they really commit and elongate their legs there woowwwwww
WAIT JUST A SECOND. I don't know the choreo well enough so correct me if I'm wrong buuuuut. It looks like the people on the outside are doing the choreo from the chorus and the people in the centre are doing something new? That's a really cool way to introduce something new and also keep it familiar
Is this the first time the whole group goes to their knees? Cause some of them did at the end of Hoshi's part before but now they're all on the ground. That's quite a far way in for that hmmm
I just like the formation stuff. Like the right kind of drifts off while the left goes and then they switch. Then they combine to make a centre group
SHOUTOUT TO THAT SLICK LEG MOVE AGAIN BAYBEEEEEE
Okay before the last chorus. Ummmmmmmm why does Minghao leave??? I was so confused this watchthrough like wait what???
LAST CHORUS!!! The thing I said about the chorus being fast but not hard? Yeah that kind of? I don't see any of these moves being super difficult but ohhhhhh is it fast! I guess that is hard though? I just mean that you won't have to practice one move a thousand times it's getting them all to flow together
They're moving so fast yet all the movements are so big seventeen teach me your ways 😭🙏
Oh I just find it great how hard Dino commits his upper body to that down swing like he fully bends
HAO'S BACK LADDIES??? is he injured and shouldn't be doing that strenuous movement? Gonna assume that's why unless told otherwise ahaha
So. Much. RUNNING. like 2 separate instances of running in the last like 15 seconds of the song??? Who made these choices I just wanna know. What
Yeah the chorus moves aren't like do this hard jump and spin then immediately fling yourself into the next move. It's more: wave your arms in the specific and large ways while also moving your feet, combining it all to look great 😀. It looks like fun but also cardio out the roof! Omg!

30-Mistletoe Sorry it’s a little late!
Christmas party …. 3 years post war
Shiro looked up, catching sight of Keith, smiling he loudly exclaims, “Keith! You made it!” He takes in Keith striding up to him with a shit eating grin and so many memories flash through his mind. Closing his eyes for just a moment and then when he reopens them Keith is there.
Keith nodds, calmly replying, “I told you I would. Have a little faith.”
Shiro sighs, “Yeah, yeah, I do…but I wasn’t sure if you could. Hell, you might get busy, emergency or just plain forgot. But damn, it’s good to see you in person.” He reaches over and hugs him tight. “Real good.” Patting his back he enjoys this moment.
Keith smiles and looks around, “Impressive turnout. Seems like everyone is in the spirit.” Taking in Shiro’s lighted Christmas tree sweater, he arches a brow, “Especially you.”
Shiro smiled, “Yeah, we did. Hell, with your arrival, we actually have all of us here. You know what that means, we have to get a family picture. I think the last one was from my wedding.”
Keith arched a brow. “Yeah sure, if you want proof of your horrible taste in clothing,” Shrugging, “ I’m game. Definitely not arguing, so, um, where are the others?”
Matt slaps Keith on the back, hard, coming up from nowhere, sing-songing, “Ohhhhh, ho, ho, ho, do you mean my sister, fa la la la la!?”
Shiro and Matt laugh loudly and Keith rolls his eyes.”Shut up guys, that doesn’t even rhyme and more importantly someone might hear you.”
Lance strolls up at that exact moment, “What are we talking about guys? Merry Christmas Keith.” He claps Keith on the back before pulling him in for a full on hug.
Keith nods, “Merry Christmas, Lance, you’re looking well.”
“Damn dude, it’s good to see you, no need to be so formal.”
Shiro catches Lance’s eye, asking directly, “Hey have you seen Pidge or Hunk?”
“Yep, Hunk is near the kitchen scoping out the chefs and what not. I personally think he’s crazy for not enjoying a night off but you know him and food. And Pidge is over there.” Arm wave and pointing to a corner, “From what I gathered or more accurately easedropped-from Veronica, Griffin had a plan to get her under under the mistletoe. So I’m sure operation Green is in effect.”
Keith freezes and manages to wheeze out a “Huh?
Hunk approaches, “Yeah apparently Ina told Shay that Griffin had feelings for Pidge. But, our Pidge was oblivious and didn’t pick upon subtle hints. So I think Griffin planned on his big move tonight.”
Keith started coughing and wheezing, finally getting out, “Does she like him?”
Both Hunk and Lance are now looking concerned, when Matt replies, “Why, what’s it to you? Does her liking someone else make you blue?
Lance started laughing, “What the hell man? Are you Dr. Seuss?” Laughing maniacally, he stutters out, “Man that rhymed!
But then he catches sight of Keith’s pale face and stops. “Keith, man, talk to us.” Looking to Shiro, he asks “What the hell is going on?”
Shiro looks at Keith, “That’s your truth to tell.”
Everyone quiets, when Lance speaks again, “Keith, if you, um, like Pidge, please don’t wait. Love is something that is worth whatever it is your are worried about risking. Take it from me-really. Don’t wait.”
Then Matt chimes in, “Yeah, ditto but also, have a little faith in yourself and Pidge. She’s been asked out by a ton of guys for various reasons. She’s still single for a reason and it’s not for lack of options. But well, let’s just say, everyone has a breaking point or a time limit. Go get her. Don’t let your time expire.”
Keith looks at his friends, no his family and nods. He takes a deep breath, and replies, “Yeah, I gotta go see about my girl. Where is this mistletoe located?”
After some instructions and recommendations, he’s off.
Meanwhile, Pidge is trying to get away from well everyone. Her mom is trying to introduce her to every single guy and her dad wants her to explain their newest project to some serous annoying upper commanders. Finally, she goes to the bathroom to escape. As she leaves she thought she saw Keith but got intercepted by Mark.
Luckily James and Veronica saved her and James pulled her away. As they were walking he stopped and grabbed both her hands. “Katie, lookup.”
As she looked up and saw the mistletoe, James pulled her closer, “Um, can I kiss you?” Pidge’s brain paused and finally she nodded hesitantly, “Um, sure?”
He leaned forward and gave her a really sweet kiss. It was nice but again Pidge wondered, is it this it? Maybe the romance novels she’s taken to reading are all lies, or maybe just misdirection. When he stopped she looked up at him, and he looked so pleased she again thought, what am I missing here?
Suddenly, she heard a growl. Blinking she turned to see Keith. She felt super embarrassed and wasn’t even sure why. Then Keith said, “Excuse me, Griffin, but we have a family picture to take. Excuse us.”
He reached for her hand, pulling her from James and she quickly called out, “Um, see you later.” That was about all she got out because Keith was fast walking and dragging her away.
As she reaches the group, everyone starts talking at once and she’s instantly confused. Finally she raises a hand, “Stop! What’s going on?”
Keith bites out, “Family picture. Let’s go.”
Never letting go of Pidge, everyone gets together in the ‘photo booth’ area. Silly, serious, fun pictures all had. Finally, she is talking to Hunk and Lance, who quietly ask, if James kissed her. Face red she replies, “Mmmhmmm.”
Hunk asks delicately, “So do you think you like him?”
Pidge sighs, “Honestly, the kiss was nice. Nicer than some of the guys who I’ve gone on dates with. But, um, maybe I’m just not a passionate person. Maybe I’m not like, I dunno a girl who feels strong emotions? Cuz it was all just okay.”
Lance nods, “I’m going to get us all a drink, sit tight. Keep Hunk company until Shay gets here.” Pidge nods quickly, “No problemo.”
Lance quickly approaches Keith, pulling him aside, “This is your chance. Take it! She felt eh, about Griffin. She thinks she isn’t passionate and let’s face it, Pidge is passionate! But she’s gotta be invested, she’s gotta care. GO before someone else untaps her potentioal!”
Keith takes a deep breath, “Yeah, okay, thanks.”
He goes to where the mistletoe is and quickly removes it. He doesn’t want his first kiss with her to be in the same place where she kissed Griffin, stupid or not, it’s how he feels. He places it instead outside on the balcony. Coming back in, he walks over to the group.
“Hey, I’m pretty hot, is there anywhere I can get some fresh air?”
Luckily Pidge replies, “Sure, wanna go out on the balcony?”
Keith readily agrees and when they leave he looks back to see encouraging grins and thumbs up. Smiling he loosens his necktie and places his hand on Pidge’s lower back, just enjoying the heat of her body, her scent, man, he knows it’s primitive but he he really just feels at peace around her.
As they step out, Keith maneuvers her to the darkened bench. As they sit, he looks up, “Um, hey, isn’t that mistletoe?”
Pidge looks up, turning red she replies, “Um, maybe?”
At that Keith looks down at her upturned face, he mutters, “Katie.” He slowly lowers his lips to hers, gently at first…slowly gaining pressure, making sure she was on board. He feels her hands grip his biceps then move up his shoulders then to his neck. When her hands were tangled in his hair and he found even breathing was hard. But hell, he didn’t want to. He yanked her closer and finally sat her on his lap. She was everything he dreamed of and more. He couldn’t think, only react.
Pidge on the other hand was amazed. THIS, this is what the books talked about, described. The heat, the passion, there was no thought just feeling. A lot of feeling. Finally breaking free to breath, she looked at Keith, amazed.
“Keith, what the hell was that?”
He smiled, “Hopefully, just the beginning.”

“He’s, uh, upstairs. I would let him sleep and maybe we should avoid lots of walking.”

The group walked into the tubbing park (author’s note: this is a real place in Quebec so is the ice hotel I went there and did tubbing a little over a year ago totally look it up) geared up in thick coat. They split up into 2 groups: the boys and Noelle and Thomas. Logan ran towards the tallest slope, a metal slide covered in a layer of ice called Mount Everest. Finn looked a little nervous as they climbed the 4 flights of stairs to the top. They were loaded into as shoot and the dropped straight down. Finn clung to Leo, while Logan raised his arms and screamed. Noelle and Thomas stated with the smaller slopes working their way through the whole park. 
They all met up for the black diamond slopes a going in a big group so they would catch air, which they did.
“Could we maybe take a break,” Finn asked.
“Of course baby. We can let Noelle and Thomas do whatever else they want” Leo said and Logan nodded in agreement.
They walked through the ice hotel, checking out the chapel that help wedding, and went down the small ice slides. They ended up in the  club part of the hotel. It was ocean themed this year so sharks and fish were carved into the walls.
“Oh my god there’s a bar.” Logan ran towards it, “guys hurry they have ice cups.”
They all got drinks and, after finishing them, walked around to look in the hotel rooms. They were decorated with different themes. One even had a dragon coming out of them wall. 
“It would be so fun to stay here,” Leo ran his hand over the ice bed frame.
“I don’t think these beds are big enough for us babe,” Finn laughed.
“It would be fun to fuck in one of these rooms tho,” Logan said not missing a beat.
“Jesus Christ Lo,” Finn smacked his shoulder.

Halloween was a week away.  Tony being Tony, already paid for the decorations for the tower, so basically all of the floors look like a haunted house.  Rolls of toilet paper stretched across arches in the hallways, tiny spiders were all over furniture, bones and eyes and zombies and witches and everything in between that you could possibly think of was in the tower.  The tower looked like a zombie on steroids; creepy yet entertaining at the same time.  
Everyone was fine with the decorations, but the costumes were a big issue.  Steve and Tony kept arguing over the ideas, both of them wanting to do group costumes.  Everyone else had their ideas too, but Tony and Steve were at each other's throats for the past couple weeks, since like August.  Your room in the tower was right by the meeting office, so hearing the two of them screaming at each other for the most stupid shit was driving you insane.  Once it got to the point where you had to yell at them to shut up.  
This morning, a week before Halloween, while everyone was there, you cleared your throat while you heard Steve and Tony bickering.
“Guys this is getting to be too much.  We need to have a meeting to discuss these fucken costumes.” you said.
“Yeah this is getting out of control,” Nat agreed.
“Guys, cmon, you have to agree with me.  All of us having Iron Man suits would be awesome.  We could fly around the city all night and have so much fun!” Tony said.
“Tony, stop.  All of us being soldiers is better.”  Steve countered.
“STOP!” Clint groaned.  “You guys are insane.  We need to discuss this as a group.”
Tony and Steve sat across from each other, glaring at each other.  Death was looming between them.  
“Fine,” Tony sighed.  “When and where?”
“The office, 2pm,” Nat said.  “And everyone has to show up, that means you too Bucky.”
Bucky groaned from the other side of the room.  He hated group discussions, he liked working alone better.  Said that it was faster to be alone and you didn’t have to worry as much.
~~~
2pm finally rolled by.  Everyone has showed up in the big office, one that seemed a little too big.  Everyone was tired of the bickering and had showed up, thankfully.  
Tony, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Thor, Bucky, Sam, Peter P, Shuri, Wanda, Vision, Loki and you were crowded around the table.  Tony was standing at the end with a whiteboard, prepared to write down ideas.
“So guys, what do you want to do?” Tony said.
“What about we dress up as famous Star Wars characters?” Sam suggested.
“Nah, Steve isn’t going to know who Yoda is.  That’s a must if we do Star Wars.” Tony said.
“Devils and Angels?” Wanda said.
“Not original,” Steve said.
“What about we just wear each other’s costumes?” Thor suggested.
“You really think you are gonna wear my wings?” Sam said, a hint of annoyance in his voice that made you and Bucky snicker.
“I don’t think any of you guys want to wear a leather catsuit,” Nat said.
“We could dress up as famous vines,” Shuri offered, smirking at you and Peter.  
The three of you quoted vines daily and the rest of the team never knew what you guys meant, which made it even more fun.  Eventually, Sam, Bucky and Clint started learning vines with you because they kept saying things which you guys followed up with vine references.  The frustration got to the three men and they started to learn with you, but they weren’t nearly as attentive as you, Shuri and Peter.
“What’s a vine?” Steve asked.
“Vine was a website created in 2012, officially released in 2013.  It was ultimately shut down in 2016.  Vine was a website where users would create short videos an-” Vision said.
“Vis, I don’t think they want a whole essay,” Wanda said, seeing the reactions of the other Avengers.  Sam had started to fake snore, Loki was muttering something to Peter about knifes, and Shuri was about to watch vines, from what you could tell.  
“It’s this app filled with people saying and doing stupid things for attention,” Nat sighed.
“IT IS NOT STUPID!  VINE WAS LEGENDARY!!”  Shuri shouted.
“YOU WOULD DO THINGS FOR THE VINE, YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!!” you shrieked.
“EDUCATE YO SELF!” Clint shouted, right in Natasha’s ear.  Doing that earned him a hard punch in the back of the head.
“Well I don’t have all day so we need something,” Tony groaned, hitting his expo marker against the whiteboard.
You and everyone else was trying to come up with ideas when all the sudden, quiet Peter Parker, who was pretty much the baby of the tower, spoke up.
“Mr. Frost Giant, God sir?” Peter asked.
“Loki,” Loki sighed, pleasantly shocked.
“So, you have ice powers right?” Peter continued.
“Yes, I am an ice giant,” Loki said.
“You should be Elsa for Halloween,” Peter gasped.
Then, out of nowhere, Clint jumped up, looking like he had 5 monster energy drinks and 10 packs of warheads.
“I’LL BE MERIDA!!!” he screamed.
“I must assume that I am going to portray Elsa then,” Thor said, with a smile on his face.
“So...we are doing Disney princesses?” Tony asked, slightly confused.
“Looks like it,” Bucky said.
“Who the fuck am I gonna be?” Shuri asked.
“Language.” Steve said.
You and Shuri looked at each other for a moment and with a slight nod of your head, you were both in a song.
“FUCK SHIT PUSSY ASS!!!” you and Shuri sang.
“MOTHERFUC-” Peter started to continue, but Tony just slapped his hand over Peter’s mouth.  Tony swore that Peter wasn’t like a son to him, but this didn’t help his situation.
Steve was turning ad red as a tomato in his seat, not being able to process all the dirty words that escaped yours and Shuri’s mouths.
“Ok, who are all the Disney Princesses?” Tony asked, frustration in his voice as he looked down at Peter.  Tony gave him a look, one that said “Stop this shit or you get your suit taken away for two weeks” and once Peter nodded his head slightly, Tony removed his hand.
Vision started to list a bunch of them off, even some of the ones that aren’t considered princesses, like Megara, Alice and Jane.  Once Tony had a list of all the princesses, he started to write of all the avengers, making lines to match them up with their character.  
“Ok, who wants to find their Disney princess counterpart first?” Tony asked.
“Me, I already asked before,” Shuri said rolling her eyes.
“Well I mean you already are a princess.” you said.
“Oh,” Shuri said. “I don’t have to dress up then.  Haha.  You can cross my name off, Tony.”
Tony sighed and rolled his eyes, while taking her name off.
“Next?” he sighed.
“What about me?” Steve asked.
“Oh this is gonna be interesting.” Sam grinned.
“Snow White.” Bucky said, without even hesitating.
“Wait why?” you asked.
“Ohhhhh, I think I see why,” Wanda smirked.
“Continue Barnes,” Natasha said.
“First of all, Snow White was the very first princess to come out.  She came out in the thirties or forties.  She’s the oldest.  Steve was the first avenger and he is the oldest.”  Bucky said.
“Bucky, you are a couple months older than me.” Steve countered.
“Second,” Bucky continued, ignoring his friend completely.  “She is like the most gullible and is surrounded by followers.  Snow White was like living with seven dwarfs.  And she was underage and just lived with them. Steve here, was the leader of the Howling Commandos.  And I was in that group, so I had to endure him and his stupid ass decisions, but I couldn’t elect to ignore it.”
“That’s offensive,” Steve said.
“That's the point,” Bucky said.  
“Ok so Steve is Snow White.”  Tony declared, making a line between Snow White and Steve on the whiteboard.  “NEXTT!”
“Me,” said the super secret Russian spy.
“Hmm..” you thought.
“Megara,” said Clint.
“Oh that's a good one,” Sam agreed.
“Who is Megara?” Steve asked.
“She is an attractive Greek lady that Hercules, the son of Zeus, who is the King of the Greek Gods, falls in love with.” Thor explained.
“Thor, how do you of all people know that?” Shuri asked.  “Shouldn’t Vision know all of these things?”
“M’lady, I am formally educated in Disney movies by the request of Peter Parker, also known as ‘The One and Only Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman’.” Thor explained.
“Kid, you make Thor, the God of Thunder, sit through Sleeping Beauty?” Tony asked, shocked.
“My dear man of Iron, Sleeping beauty was quite relaxing.  That Prince Philip, that amazing man, demonstrated quite intellectually advanced ways to use a sword.  Ways that I can use Storm-breaker effectively in battle.” Thor smiled.
Tony and Sam shared a look of disgust with a combination of interest and concern.
“Thor, I don’t think you can learn fighting tactics from a cart-” Vision started.
“I need to watch the movies again,” Clint and Bucky muttered under their breaths.
“No she should be Mulan,” Wanda said.  “Mulan is determined and strong.  Megara just messed with the God of Death.”
“I mess with death all the time,” Natasha countered.
“I should be Megara.” Bucky stated.
“Because you almost died?” Steve asked.
“Because your soul is dark and empty?” Sam asked.
“Yes and no.  My hair is long, not as long as her’s but I can make it work.  Hair extensions.  She plays with Hercules’ emotions.  She is also strong and independent.  Like me.” Bucky explained.
“That settles it.  Bucky is Megara and Natasha is Mulan.”  Tony said, making lines between the two avengers and their princesses.  
“nEXXttT!” Tony shouted.
“Me me me!” Wanda said happily.
“Yes Mr. Stark I would like to go as well.” Vision added.
“Wanda would make the perfect Moana.” Thor said.  “Moana and Wanda both demonstrate very strong emotions, which affect their abilities regarding their powers and limits and they care deeply about the people that mean the most to them.”
He nudged Loki in the shoulder to try to get him more involved in the meeting.  Loki was just throwing his knives up in the air, and Peter was getting very interested, and getting dangerously close to the God of Mischief.  Tony was eyeing the two of them very, very carefully.
“Yeah, yeah sure,” Loki sighed, just going along with Thor or the sake of it.
“Who would Vision be then?” Sam asked.
“He could be the dead grandma,” Clint suggested.
“Yeah, that one that turned into the manta ray.” Nat agreed.
“It’s settled.  Moana and Dead Grandma Ray.” Tony said, making the lines once again.  He had to add “dead grandma” to the board for Vision’s sake.
“NeXXXXXtttT!!” he shrieked.
“Tony, you should be Belle,” Natasha said.
“Yeah.  I mean, they both fall in love and save the people that mean the most to them, even if it means putting their own life at risk.” Steve agreed.
“And they are both really smart.” Peter added.
“Peter, you just had to say that and I would have been on board.  Now I had to listen to Steve and Natasha for a minute.” Tony groaned as he drew a line between his name and Belle’s.
“Thanks Tony,” Steve said sarcastically.
“Your welcome, Capsicle.” Tony gleamed back.
“Sam should be Cinderella.” Bucky said.
“OMG that works!!” Shuri exclaimed.
“Yeah..” Sam realized.  “I’m Cinderella ‘cause she broke, homie.”
“Yeah,” Steve said, smiling from ear to ear, looking back at Sam.
“She represent me, yooo,” Sam said.  Then he looked over at Steve and said, “Lemme borrow twenty dollas.”
By this point, Steve couldn’t hold in the laughter and almost fell out of his chair.  And Sam, being as he called it “Steve’s best friend, better than Bucky,” saved Steve from collapsing on to the floor.
“Steve is the cinder princess.  Deal with it.” Tony declared, adding another line.
“NeeXXttTTT!” Tony screamed.
“Now, all that’s left is Peter and Y/N,” Wanda said, eyeing you two.
“Peter should be Rapunzel.  Before they face the real world, they are both innocent, but then when they see what the world is really like, it changes them.” Thor said, analyzing the similarities between the princess and the superhero.
“Jesus Christ, why is Point break actually really on point?” Tony asked.
“My dear Stalk of corn, I am educated like I told you earlier.  Insect man has really helped me tap into my inner child and all of the pain my demon brother made me endure.” Thor said.
“Spiderman,” Peter mumbled.
“I take that as a complement.” Loki stated, out of the blue.
“Rapunzel is Parker.” Tony declared.
“Last but not least, Y/N.” Steve said.
Now, it took everyone a while to come up with a princess for you.  You didn’t fit the exact mold or looks of a certain princess, so it was definitely harder.
“What about Alice?” Sam said/
“Why the fuck would she be Alice?” Bucky asked.
“Because Alice in Wonderland is supposed to portray the effects of drugs.” Sam explained.
“So your saying that I act like a drug addict?” you asked.
“NO!” Sam shouted.
“Sam, drop it before you dig your own grave.” Steve said.
“What about Jasmine?” offered Wanda.  “You have a very free spirit like her, and she’s your favorite princess.”
“Yeah sure, that sounds fine.” you agreed.
“Y/N is Jasmine!  dOOONNEe!” Tony shouted with relief.
“WAIT I CHANGED MY MIND!” Shuri shrieked.  “I WANNA BE A PRINCESS.  I WANNA BE TIANA SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE BADASS!”
“FINE!” Tony shouted back.  “NOW WE ARE DONE.  EVERYONE HAPPY?”
Everyone in the room, not wanting to disagree with a hot-headed Tony, looked around at each other and slowly nodded their heads.
“Great!” Tony smiled, a complete change in moods.  “Tomorrow we are going to Party City to get our costumes.  Everyone in this room has to come so we can get the wigs and dresses and makeup.  No skipping out.  That includes you Clint, Bucky and Loki.”
The three men who were called out rolled their heads and sighed.  But they agreed to go.  To Tony’s happiness.
“Great.  Meeting finished.  Pepper wants me for something.  Probably for the party.  Nobody try to call me or you will be met with an ear rape of AC/DC.” Tony said, putting on his glasses and promptly leaving the room in Stark fashion.  Everyone eventually left the room, you being lost in your thoughts.  
“You coming, doll?” Bucky asked, seeing you were still sitting in the room.
“Ya, I’ll be out in a second.” you said.  
“Alright, you, me and Clint are doing a Disney marathon for fighting tactics.  Don’t be late or you because we are gonna eat all the food.  I don’t wanna hear you complain.” Bucky said, walking out the door with a lazy drag of his legs.
Now, relief filled your body.  Now you wouldn’t have to hear arguing about costumes!  And they actually agreed to costumes, shockingly.  Now you just couldn’t wait to go to Party City and endure all the chaos.  And then, you left the room to watch Disney movies again, for fighting tactics.  
Oh, the chaos that awaits.

Who was your first bias?
When I was first introduced and was still researching their names (because we all know that’s how it starts 😂) Hobi was my bias!! Mostly because I remembered his name and HIS SMILE captivated me. Still does. He was my first hope and forever will be!
Who is your bias now?
Honestly they’re all a bias for different reasons hahaha! After learning their names and getting to know BTS more, specifically after watching the “Burn The Stage” docuseries and the “Mikrokosmos” performance at the 2019 MMAs...I fell for Jeon Jungkook! I related to his personality and his voice touched my soul!
What was the first mv you watched by them?
Mic Drop!!!! The night my life changed! While making dinner, my roommate @baepsaetay, said “you need to watch this” and I LOVED EVERY SECOND!!! Instant addiction and interest. Thank you a million times for making me watch that. Hobi in that mv is 😍😍🔥 A big reason he was my first bias haha.
What’s your favorite mv?
Ohhhhh mannnnn...this is so hard! It’s like asking my favorite book or KDrama. But I think “On” is up at the top. The story and the song and everything makes my heart ache with adoration. But I also super love “Run” that one makes me smile. I love to see them be goofballs and mess around! Ooo but “Spring Day”...so beautiful!!
If you could listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Definitely “Mikrokosmos”...every time I hear that song it goes on repeat at least 10 times. That was the song that got me hooked!! But I hope this situation never happens because I can’t do just one haha. I need it all.
Who would you want to see them collab with?
I think it would be fun for them to team up with TXT!! That would be so adorable!!!
What mv concept do you want to see them do?
I have no idea...they keep surprising me no matter what, so I’ll just let them do their creative magic and wholeheartedly love it all!
Have you had any dreams w/ any of the members?
I had one where I was walking on a bridge in Seoul and saw someone trying to jump off, but me and Taehyung saved the guy. That’s the only dream I remember, but I daydream CONSTANTLY while at work!!!! Making up scenarios where I meet them (mainly they’re walking down a street and I run away in terror or hide in a bush) happy little daydreams ☺️ one time on one of those daydreams, Jungkook chased after me, and because he’s freaking super athletic he caught me. Don’t know what happened after that, but I’m sure it was lovely
If you could spend the day with one of the members, who would it be and what would you do?
Obviously I would like to spend time with each individually and as a group 😂 but, Namjoon and I are basically twins in personality, so I think we would have a fun time together! I would want him to show me around his favorite places and eat his favorite foods. Even sitting in silence or having deep conversations would be so interesting! I’d love to listen to him just talk about whatever.
Which member do you think you’d get along with most?
As mentioned before, Namjoon and I have similar personalities, so definitely him! I think Jungkook and I could get along too since I am an introvert and am quiet, so we could chill and be fine...as long as he doesn’t as me to play sports with him 😂 I’ll workout with him, but forget the sports hahaha!!
Which member do you think you’d argue with?
None of them, they’re all terrifying when they’re upset and I would just back down 😂 If Taehyung or Hobi kept hanging around me, I might ask for some personal space/alone time, but I certainly wouldn’t argue about it hahaha
If you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be?
My page isn’t interesting at all, so any of them could take a peek 😂 I have nothing to hide.

Message Spent
The following is a text, a corpus, a canon. The client shall remain unnamed. Beginning Transcription in...
3...
2...
1...
Bezel. It is here, a name. A name born of the verb born of the noun which is a synonym for frame, for barrier, for boundary between symbols and the places which view them. You got that so far? Should I keep going?
There are things, shapes, which don't suffer names well, at least not for long. I met Bezel when I was visiting, playing tourist. It is not a someone, nor an object in the way a particular stone or home may bear a name to distinguish it from others of the same type or class.
A wave is a name we give an abstraction, names we place on different things to confuse ourselves between them. This confusion, surprisingly, is helpful. Not a birch, or a maple, mulberry, or pine, but a tree. Waves pass through water, through metal, and again, metals' sparks.
Why I'm hiring you to write in this particular venue, in this particular way, is so that the little ripples don't get lost just because you (or I for that matter) discard them because we don't understand how they got there. Editing is a useful habit, but not for all uses.
I will make mistakes, you will transcribe oddly or poorly, and if we leave the option open, we will fiddle and tweak and generally make a mess of things by making them legible, presentable, or perhaps acceptable.
Nuggets.
Bertrand.
Sarsaparilla.
There we go, good luck interpolating that.
Alright, time to go back and remind myself of where I was headed. You don't have to include notes like this in the text.
Actually, you know what, go ahead. Just cram it all in there. Seems fitting. Besides, I may add the caveat too late and then you couldn't oblige anyway. No need to put you in a bind like that.
Bezel, that's where I started, I'll continue with that. It's a good glossary word to start with here. Can't have a gate without a boundary, and it sure is tough to get somewhere by having already been there... or, at least tough to give directions that way.
Calling attention to disjoints, faults, gaps, and the like, that seems to be the local language. Walls are good for many things, bad at others, but often good structures on which to rest when tired.
Did you ever notice how few advocacy groups there are for gravity? Or how scant moral codes there are that forbid pickpocket the Sun? A conspicuous lack of charities collecting for the cause of keeping river rocks smooth. And I've never been yelled at for not sweating glass.
There are things that enforce themselves but do so largely unnoticed, and there ate things that enforce themselves which we fancy might do otherwise. And then there are things which we enforce which are enforced by us and need that pressure to not evaporate.
Cold water boils in low enough pressure, and so do some ideas. It is polite to eat with your mouth closed. A particular word means a particular thing. We just don't do that here. That's something something unnatural something something tradition.
Bezel is a character in the story I'm telling, but like how the number twelve is a character in math, or 人 is a character on screen. Story isn't the right word, but it's the one I've gotten hold of and it's in the neighborhood.
It's an act of reminding myself of the local pressure needed to maintain the ecosystem of ideas where I happen to be. A reminder that I can move to somewhere with more or less or different pressure if it suits me or I need a different context.
It is a golden flag of a warning to remind myself to use the door rather than claw at the wall, to do the local bubble the respect of not bursting it without cause. But that is neither here nor there because it is staunchly between.
The panic of feeling every boundary is there to ensnare, impede, or imprison leaves a long wake of leaky membranes, violent depressurization, and a lot of wounds vulnerable to opportunistic infections. Oops. Mistakes worth learning from.
So what is the payload here? Why did I commission this work? And why through such roundabout methods? An abstract device. Seemed the thing to do. Filters.
Absorbing State. Another vocab word for the glossary. One of my personal favorites. An absorbing state is a state that, once entered, one does not exit. That may be water running down hill until it enters the ocean where it stays forever (in an oversimplified model), or death.
Things transition between states. On a technical level, that is the founding principle behind computation, look up Markov Chains if you wanna up the legibility of things in general. Moods, beliefs, and other experiential events can also usefully be described as states.
Let's steal a scene. Juliet on the balcony, lovestruck Romeo below. That's a scene, and just to be pedantic let's map "state" onto "scene" and see where that takes us. Some things have to happen in order for these kids to die for our entertainment.
If lines aren't said, plot ain't played out, sets aren't struck, then these two lovebirds loom peacefully and romantically entwined in Balcony State indefinitely. And, well, hang on, aren't they dead? We saw it happen. Very sad. How are they alive and well in Balcony?
Another reason for going about this project this way is to ensure publication, to cement the digital footprint. Drafts sit and await rigor, await scrutiny, and I love both of those, but I tried to eat them rather than own them. An approach, mine, but not the only or recommended.
The ghosts of discourse still linger in libraries, the academic sort, and they are lovely or terrible or very in their own ways. And the living rampage through songs and drinks and smells as always. But now, we have a nifty sort of substrate between. And not just receipts.
I was frightened to spill ink for a long while. What if I'm misunderstood, or worse what if I am understood but incorrect?!
I thought it was a matter of picking the right cause, of allying myself with whatever was stronger or righter or deeper or taller or betterer. Craved that clear thoughtless ringing of certainty and affirmation. But wait... Hmm...
They, you know the ones, the right ones, the pedestal dwellers, what's this proscenium, what's this stage? What are the chances that this message is compelling because it matches how I'm compelled. Well, that's just doubt. That's probably bad. Am good. Am brave. See me.
Wait a spell, why am I compelled? What are these rewards I'm driven to seek, these hurts I'm calloused to, I should be calloused to, I didn't need it anyway. But if I didn't need it because I'm strong, and I'm doing what they say to get the thing that was mine they took .
Oh. Ohhhhh. Ewwwwwwwww. Get it off let me out get it out of me!
Huh. That's better. What a relief. Wow. Oh wow. This is amazing! Is this what freedom tastes like?!?!
Okay, what's next? Hello? Oh. Yeah. I mean, yay! But, yeah.

I really like that the outcome for the Pretty Song!daemons is becoming their own creatures, bc that means Lucis will have to work out how to deal with a bunch of semi-sapient magical beings that are no longer hostile. Also, on that note, it occurs to me that bad ppl will become much more hesitant to hurt kids in rural Lucis after stories of various assholes scaring kids and getting curbstomped by a FRICKING IRON GIANT, or tackled by a swarm of angry tonberries (1/?, sorry this might be LONG
lark1537 said: (2/?) bc the daemons know Pretty Song; and know that humans hurt her, even if she never said (they see how she stiffens when she hears humans, or they're near towns, and most of them have little enough Thirst now that they don't need to eat humans and the only reason they try is bc HOW DARE YOU SCARE PRETTY SONG, but Pretty Song doesn't want that so they listen to her); and this small human isn't Pretty Song but they are small and scared like she was when they first met her before she knew them
lark1537 said: (3/?) And they will not let anyone hurt another small-human, even if they don't sing. This also leads to me thinking abt children being the first humans to befriend no-longer-Thirsty daemons, bc they're young enough not to have learned to always be scared of daemon-looking creatures, even if they seem nice (bc no parent thought a daemon would seem nice, or could come out in the light); and bc the daemons are already predisposed to like small-humans, bc of Pretty Song
lark1537 said: (4/?) And THAT led to me imagining a parent somewhere in rural Lucis having their toddler come tell them abt the "big puppy" Big Sib is playing with outside, and said parent nearly having a heart attack when they come check it out and find their 10 yr old using a basketball to play fetch with a Cerberus, who is being very careful not to knock over a tree with how hard their tail is wagging, and occasionally tries to catch it with all three heads at once. And THAT image led to me thinking abt all
lark1537 said: (5/?) The daemons that are self-aware/sapient, or at least implied to be (Melusine, that talking Naga, Iedolas-the-Foras) and the ones that seem humanlike enough that it's tough to believe they don't have enough of their humanity left to talk (Arachne, Ronin) being freed from the Thirst that clouded their thoughts and made them more animalistic and essentially being nocturnal, magical, maybe-immortal people.
lark1537 said: (6/?) How would Lucis even deal with having a new group of self aware residents that previously didn't exist? Would Thirst-healed sapient daemons be counted as citizens? Does killing them count as murder? What abt daemons who were turned recently enough that they can still remember some of what they were, like Ravus? Would some of them go back to their old families? I hope so, bc that opens up the possibility of a kid hitching a ride on a half-spider lady and telling concerned
lark1537 said: (7/?) onlookers not to worry, this is her big sister, yeah she looks scary but as long as you don't wake her up before noon and don't complain abt the cobwebs she's really nice! And she's great at knitting! And just think abt how awesome an integrated daemon-human civilization could be! Chocobo ranchers having tonberries watch their flock at night & paying them in new materials to stab, or asking them to help with cooking. Iron giants helping out friendly farmers with the heavy lifting, or being
lark1537 said: (8/?) rescue ppl from a cave in. A kid with a pet/friend bomb who lights up at night to help them not be afraid of the dark, like a sentient nightlight. Mindflayers working at vet offices to calm unruly/dangerous patients with their gas. PEOPLE RIDING MICTLANTECIHUATL. On that note, would half-daemonic creatures like the bloodhorn or mictlantecihuatl who are just daemonized enough to be dangerous be altered by the lack of Thirst? They'd probably be
lark1537 said: (9/9) similar to Ardyn or Titus, who are both calmed by music, and are something more than just human, at this point. Maybe they'd be just aware enough that they could be interacted with more easily, like the intelligence of a dog or crow, rather than a human. Sorry this got so long, I started thinking and I think my latent childhood dreams of having a talking dragon took over. I just really love the idea of nonhuman people interacting with humans peacefully, and the resulting worldbuilding.
Me:
Okay so- WOW this is a long ask XDD. This was a blast to read. You rolled with this SO MUCH FARTHER than I anticipated/had thought of my self but all of this is GLORIOUS and I’m just gonna- bask in it for a few minutes. I have no idea if this is canon for Pretty Song verse but it PROBABLY IS because it’s glorious. Okay so-
It’s definitely an ... adjustment period for people and daemons a like, with semi-sapient (or fully sapient if in some cases) new neighbors being a Thing. The kiddos are totally the first to figure these facts out and take advantage because they find three headed fire dogs of death to be cool rather than terrifying.
Daemons are totally instinctive protectors of kiddos. That’s a new thing now. They do it on behalf of Pretty Song.
From there you have researchers like Sania who are FASCINATED by the sudden change and want to know the catalyst and how smart are these new daemons and ohhhhh you like MUSIC okay (Sania ends up spending like- a month in the wilds following this one lone Ronin who gets INCREASINGLY EXASPERATED over this human’s lack of self-preservation until he’s like “screw it this is my human now”.)
Pffffft I love the mental imagery of this. Just- “I found a puppy! Can I keep it?” Said puppy wags its tail as all three heads happily drool lava on the lawn.
I ADORE THIS??? Just- not all daemons were people once, a LOT were animals, but some of the ones that were people wake up with like- patchy memories and they’ve been daemons so long they can’t remember to be distressed that they aren’t HUMAN but- but they remember families and loved ones and so they tentatively trickle back.
And oh boy picture the REVELATION that rocks the world when this starts happening. The realization that some daemons used to be PEOPLE and now they’re coming back. And I’m sure I could make that super angsty but I won’t. Instead we shall all enjoy the mental picture of a little boy who wished on a star for his missing dad to come back one day opening the door to find a Yojimbo crouched there, shyly holding a poorly wrapped present that he promised his son years ago and the kid is like “MOM DAD’S BACK!” And there is much hugging and crying and the happily wearing of his dad’s giant daemon hat.
It’s a really, really good thing that Regis is the king and Pretty Song is his best friend’s daughter, because as soon as this becomes a Thing Regis is there running damage control, passing laws on daemon protections and rights and how to go about properly dealing with them if they actually perform a crime that isn’t straight murder of every daemon in the area, how to test if these are sentient daemons or the semi-sapient kind etc, etc. He knows it will take a while for society to acclimate to the changes, but curse it all he is GOING to have the groundwork already laid out.
The rest of the world thinks Lucis is crazy at first, but then there’s Weskham, happily hiring several Master Tonberry to work as chefs under him in Altissia and it’s WORKING and more and more daemons are waking up from the Thirst even though no one knows HOW at this point so the rest of the world had better get with the program man.
I think the half-turned ones actually revert? Like- they only stay daemon if they’ve been fully converted, otherwise they slowly revert back to their original state as the Scourge loses more and more of its potency. Ardyn is technically a “full daemon” even if he kept his human shape thanks to his healing magic so he doesn’t revert, but he is fascinated when he and the rest of the daemons all seem to take a collective chill pill.
Cor totally gives Noctis a Cerberi puppy as a present btw. He just- he SO DOES. Regis is Not Best Pleased.
I love the idea of nonhuman/human integrated society too! It’s really cool. Tonberry chefs and various aids/adjustments for beings with extra limbs/odd body shapes. Ronin and Yojimbo who work with the Hunter corps, Bombs that patrol towns at night like the neighborhood watchdogs, goblins getting to work in their mines rather than just be bored in them, Naga nannies (or daemon nannies in general because all the reformed daemons in this verse are MAJORLY protective of kiddos)- it’s a fun thought!
Pretty Song has no idea just how big of a revolution she spawned with just some pretty music and a lot of courage XDD.
